The assurance of required quality properties is one of the major challenge in Self- Adaptive Systems (SAS). Self-adaptive systems have the capability to adapt their dynamic behavior autonomously at runtime due to uncertain changes in the environment. Research in this field is being held since mid-sixties, and over the last decade the importance of self-adaptivity is being increased. In general a self-adaptive system is much difficult to specify and verify, because of its highly complex internal behavior and especially when time constraints are involved. In the proposed research, Colored Petri Net (CPN) formal language will be used to model self-adaptive multi-agent system. CPN is increasingly used to model self-adaptive complex concurrent systems due to its flexible formal specification and formal verification behavior. CPN is visually more expressive than simple Petri Nets enables diverse modeling approaches and provides a richer framework for such a complex formalism. The specification and verification of internal structure of each self-adaptive agent is being expressed through modal μ-calculus (Mμ). We propose SMACS (Self-adaptive Multi-Agent Concurrent System) framework, that is specifically designed for complex architectures, those contain inter-connected components in a heterogenous way. All agents of SMACS are also known as intelligent agents due to their self-adaptation behavior. The internal structure of SMACS framework is based on MAPE-K feedback loop. Each phase of the feedback loop works as an internal agent known as; Monitor Int-Agent, Analyzer Int-Agent, Planer Int-Agent and Executer Int-Agent. The agents adapt and update their behavior through interaction with the environment by using the decentralized approach. The Liveness, Safeness and Deadlock-freedom properties of self-adaptive agents are being verified through the TAPA model checker. For implementation of SMACS framework, Traffic Monitoring System (TMS) and Smart Computer Lab (SCL) are chosen as case studies. CPN based state space analysis will also be done to verify the behavioral properties of the model. The general objective of the proposed system is to maximize the utility generated over some predetermined time horizon. This research will provide new direction for modeling and verification of concurrent system. The main idea behind this work is to achieve true concurrency of multiple interconnected self-adaptive agents with their dynamic behavior.

سید عبدالرحمن بافقیہ تھنگل

سید عبد الرحمن با فقیہ تھنگل
آل انڈیا مسلم لیگ کے صدر سید عبدالرحمن با فقیہ تھنگل مرحوم کی وفات قومی و ملی حادثہ ہے، اور ان کی موت اس لحاظ سے ہر مسلمان کے لیے قابل رشک ہے کہ حج سے فراغت کے بعد وہ سعودی عربیہ کے دارالحکومت ریاض گئے تھے، وہیں ایک مختصر علالت کے بعد انتقال کیا، حرم محترم میں نماز جنازہ پڑھی گئی اور مکہ معظمہ کی سرزمین میں سپرد خاک کیے گئے، اس طرح گناہوں سے پاک و صاف ہوکر لبیک کہتے ہوئے اپنے رب کے حضور میں حاضر ہوگئے۔
خوش حال آنکہ دید ترا و سپرد جان
آگہ نشد کہ ہجر کدام و وصال چیست
تھنگل مرحوم اگر چہ مسلم لیگ کے صدر تھے لیکن ملکی قومی خدمات میں بھی ان کا قدم پیچھے نہ تھا، اس لیے بلا تفریق مذہب و ملت سب ان کو مانتے تھے، اور ان کی موت پر جنوبی ہند کے ہندو مسلمان دونوں نے یکساں ماتم اور ان کی موت کو قومی نقصان تصور کیا، ارض مقدس میں ان کی موت خود مغفرت کا ذریعہ ہے ،اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کے مدارج بلند فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، فروری ۱۹۷۳ء)

 

پاكستان ميں رائج نظام احتساب

Islam is a complete and perfect code of life. We find guidance from Islam on any aspect of life. This study aims to explore the evaluation of existing audit system in Islamic perspective. The study indicates the gaps and challenges in audit system keeping in view Islamic laws and principles. The study is qualitative in nature. Relevant documents have been analyzed keeping in view objectives of the study. Thematic content analysis has been used for the analysis of collected data. The study is significant for the researchers, policy makers and audit experts. Recommendation of the study are beneficial particularly for the Audit Department to overcome the existing gaps and challenges.

High School Science Teachers Conceptions About Nature of Science

Among the key areas focused in the science teacher education literature, understanding and challenging the teachers' knowledge about Nature of Science (NOS) is considered as an urgent need of the time in order to bring change in science teaching and learning processes. Researches also show that teachers' personal theories about NOS have a great influence on what they do in classrooms. Thus, understanding teachers' views about NOS is important and this has also been identified as an area of research in the Pakistani context (Halai, 2004). Therefore, this study aimed to assess high school Pakistani science teachers' conceptions about NOS and whether these conceptions were related to selected demographic variables. These variables include: (i) participants' gender, (ii) years of teaching experience, (iii) academic qualification, (iv) professional qualification, and (v) system of school. A cross-sectional survey study was carried out. A multistage cluster sampling technique was used to recruit 147 science teachers from government (n= 21) and private (n= 20) schools of three towns of Karachi. A modified version of 14-item "Views on Science- Technology-Society" (VOSTS) questionnaire was administered to asses participant teachers' views of certain aspects of NOS. Participants' responses were categorized as "naive", "have merit", or "informed". The questionnaire was piloted before administering it to the147 participant teachers. The response rate was 100 percent. The results showed that a majority of participants held naive views of a majority (n=10 items; 71%) of the target NOS aspects. Furthermore, teachers views on some aspects of NOS were found to be related with some of the selected demographic and background variables. These include participants' gender, years of teaching experience, professional qualification and system of school. The study provides insight into an under-researched area of teachers' perception about NOS in a developing country by using VOSTS, a questionnaire adapted as part of the current research. The findings of this study will contribute to the literature on NOS in the Pakistani and other contexts as well. The results might be useful for professional development institutes in designing training programmes for science teachers to provide them better understanding about an important aspect of science-NOS.
